Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

A number appears in the left hand upper corner and I click on it and it gives me the blank to enter the contact name or number. After I send it I click the number to give me blank to send another message and nothing happens. Help

You open Messages and a number appears in the upper left corner? What kind of number? Do you have a conversation pinned? Does that number have a circle above it with a picture or a letter in it?


 



To start a new message, you generally go to the square with the pencil in the upper right corner. See the instructions here:
